The Penguins will be taking on the Detroit Red Wings tomorrow in game one of the Stanley Cup Finals, and there’s lots to talk about:

1. The owner of Wholey’s will not sell octopus to any Red Wings fan and this has created some interesting commenting out of Detroit:

Only a moron like this Wholey guy would believe not selling octopi would increase the Spitburger Peng-you-ines chances in these finals. Don’t worry Spit boy, there are probably plenty of other fish dealers out there willing to make a buck.

I’m concerned that we’ll only see four games again. Just like with the Flyers and again with the Caps. Here’s hoping the Penguins at least make it competitive. Not likely, though…

Oh, no he di’int!

2. If you go to the Free Press site, you can play Whack a Penguin and I’m sorry to say that I rule at Whack a Penguin. If there were ever Whack a Penguin Olympics, I’d take gold, silver and bronze.

How far can you whack a penguin?

If you’re going to claim you beat my score, you’re going to have to prove it with a screen cap, otherwise, PANTS ON BIG FAT FIRE!

The only person I’m almost positive is going to beat me is Julie Gong, because bitch is FIERCE.

“He’s pretty sure it’s legal to pay for it himself so he preferred to go that route.”

He’s pretty sure it’s legal?! WTF?

If Lukey would have walked into the Office of That’s Church and asked me, the Chief of That’s Church, “Chief? Is it legal for me to use my own money to purchase Penguins tickets?” I would have kicked him in the nuts.

That kind of stupidity needs to be punished.

The Admiral was resurrected just to address this issue. While you’re there, go read about how WTAE has proof that it was actually the MAYOR’S peeps that made the banner deal a no-go. Lukey lied, y’all. Become a Choke-A-Bitch-ocrat (CAB) and vote for PittGirl. A vote for me is a vote for the truth and twenty votes for dead pigeons.

(h/t DW and Arika and also the JUDGE for forgetting to hat-tip him last week.)

Living in the suburbs doesn’t mean you can’t run for mayor. Simply organize your CABs to push for the proposed city-county consolidation, and your path to the Mayor’s office of the new Greater Pittsburgh is clear no matter where you live in Allegheny County.

#7 There is one situation where it could possibly be against ethical rules to pay for something. I could see if the tickets were impossible to get at any price and he used connections as mayor to be able to buy them or if he used connections as mayor to get tickets well below market and/or scalpers prices, that might be against ethic rules. But if he’s paying $350 a ticket, then I find it hard press for any of his enemies to have any issues with it.

I think the most I’ve ever paid for tickets for anything has been $200 and they were for away Steelers games.

So, what are you supposed to do when you’re a member of the wedding party, and the wedding just happens to be during game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals? Is this situation in any wedding etiquette guides?
